Omaha and Ponca Digital Dictionary update

[Jimm GoodTracks]

Mark, Catherine!  
Congratulations!  The O/P Dictionary site really looks nice, as I went over there and looked around.  I noted that several O/P letters were not hi-lighted, and several new characters were there, like a "kh" followed by a hyper font "h".  Does that represent a new glottal stop font, or does it mean something else?
Jimm

  Aloha All, 

  Catherine Rudin and I are happy to announce that the Omaha and Ponca Digital Dictionary is now public. You can access the site at 

  http://omahaponca.unl.edu 

  It is a relatively small lexicon at this early stage. 

  Each entry has just the basic Omaha word, part of speech, and English definition. The JOD 19th century slip is viewable for each entry. 

  The site is searchable on the Omaha word, English word, and part of speech. 

  The number of entries will continue to grow, as will the amount of information in each entry, as we work through the database of ~15,000 images. 

  Please use the site and alert me to any oddities or problems. 

  The OPDD work thus far has been supported by an NEH grant that will expire at the end of August 2011. 

  A second 3-year application to the NSF/NEH/SI Documenting Endangered Languages program  to continue the work was submitted in September 2010. I just received notice that the application was declined. 

  Regards, 
  Mark
